NoPassword AI-driven Contextual and Adaptive Authentication
NoPassword artificial intelligence considers a wide range of contextual factors and adapts authentication process to every individual user to reduce the friction from the authentication process while it assesses the risk and manages user access based on the level of risk.
Contextual and adaptive authentication is a significant element of NoPassword Zero Trust authentication. Artificial intelligence algorithm assesses environmental, device, and user risk, and forces assigned authentication policy and adjusts the access policy accordingly.
NoPassword Artificial Intelligence
Contextual and Adaptive Authentication Layers:
Workstation Verification
NoPassword verifies whether the workstation is a known device and has been previously used. It's also important to ensure the user is authorized to use the workstation for accessing assigned resources. Device profiling is also performed to recognize whether the workstation based on its hardware configurations, IP address, screen resolution, language and installed fonts, etc.
Browser Verification
Given a number of vulnerabilities and threats occurs at the browser level, NoPassword also verifies the user's browser to ensure it's a recognized browser and also the health of the browser. Browser profiling is based on a variety of factors such as browser configuration, history, cookies, plugins, etc.
Mobile Device Verification
Given smartphones are the primary authentication device in NoPassword solution, NoPassword uses several proprietary techniques to verify the smartphone and its health. NoPassword monitors smartphone health, applications installed, key storage and key management, screen size, received signals, etc. NoPassword also extracts several token and monitor changes in connected network, surrounding signals, and device ID.
Network Connection
NoPassword monitors networks which are connected to users' devices as a critical factor. If the user is connected via an internal trusted network of your organization, the authentication request is considered to be less risky comparing to when the user is connected to an unsecure or public network such as a coffee shop or a hotel. Changes in the network and its security must be reflected on the authentication process and level of access that the user has.
Surrounding Signals
Signals, including Wi-Fi and BLE, received by the user's workstation and mobile device are monitored by NoPassword. Velocity and changes in these signals can reflect a change in the user's environment, consequently changing the level of risk.
Using a wide range of technologies such as Wi-Fi, BLE, and NFC, NoPassword solution leverages proximity of user's devices as a factor for authentication. For example, if the user's smartphone is used as the primary method of authentication, the smartphone must be in proximity of the workstation that user tries to gain access from.
Trusted zones can be assigned so that users can securely access their account from and perform their tasks. There may be sensitive applications that must be limited to certain geo-location. There are also locations that you may prefer to limit all the access from (e.g. sanctioned countries). NoPassword allows you to define risky locations and trusted locations statically. As users use NoPassword, its Artificial Intelligence discovers new risky locations, zones, and regions and limits access.
Initially defining and later detecting risky IP addresses is another part of NoPassword contextual and adaptive authentication. New IP addresses may be authorized but limited in terms of accessing applications and performing sensitive tasks, such as online transactions. If you are receiving requests that are rejected or blocked by your users, NoPassword Artificial Intelligences learns to treat these requests with caution.
If users who normally access their account during a specific time range or for a relatively regular duration of time, and they request to access their account at an unusual point of time or for a significantly longer duration, it alerts NoPassword as a suspicious request. For instance, if a user regularly accesses a certain application during working hours, a request to access that application at 2:00am is alerted asa risky request.
Predefined Access Policies
Static authentication policies defined by the admin is a good start for contextual and adaptive Authentication. While users are normally granted access to unsensitive applications from a wider range of locations, times, and IP addresses, there might be more sensitive applications that require tighter policy. NoPassword adaptive and contextual authentication allows to limit user's access to sensitive content and application to certain geo-location (e.g. physical office), from limited trusted IP range, and during a certain period of time.
Location Velocity
Comparing IP, GPS, and Wi-Fi location information are other factors that are used by NoPassword contextual and adaptive authentication. Significant changes in user's location, especially in a short period of time, can result in access denial. For instance, if a user logs into their account from their New York office, the same user must not be granted access from Los Angeles within the next 4 hours.
Identity Profile, Access, and Policy
When a user tries to access their account and their profile varies from other user's profile structure, the user might have been created for intrusion. For example, if all users are a member of the security group and Organizational Unit, and have assigned roles, and if a user with no role or membership is detected, such a user's access must be suspended. Another example is a user with unusual extensive privileges or entitlements which can be a risky user.

JONATHAN ZIMMERMAN, PLAINTIFF,v.R. RIVAS, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Kendall J. Newman United States Magistrate Judge
On November 22, 2010, defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff's complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12. Plaintiff has not opposed the motion.
Local Rule 230(l) provides in part: "Failure of the responding party to file written opposition or to file a statement of no opposition may be deemed a waiver of any opposition to the granting of the motion . . . ." On July 26, 2010, plaintiff was advised of the requirements for filing an opposition to a motion and that failure to oppose such a motion may be deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion.
Local Rule 110 provides that failure to comply with the Local Rules "may be grounds for imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of the Court." In the order filed July 26, 2010, plaintiff was also advised that failure to comply with the Local Rules may result in a recommendation that the action be dismissed.
Finally, Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides: Involuntary Dismissal; Effect. If the plaintiff fails to prosecute or to comply with these rules or a court order, a defendant may move to dismiss the action or any claim against it. Unless the dismissal order states otherwise, a dismissal under this subdivision (b) and any dismissal not under this rule--except one for lack of jurisdiction, improper venue, or failure to join a party under Rule 19--operates as an adjudication on the merits.
Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty days of the date of this order, plaintiff shall file an opposition, if any, to the motion to dismiss. Failure to file an opposition will be deemed as consent to have the: (a) pending motion granted; (b) action dismissed for lack of prosecution; and (c) action dismissed based on plaintiff's failure to comply with these rules and a court order. Said failure shall result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).

Baylor Homecoming Parade To Be Broadcast Live on KCEN-TV Ch. 6, Streamed on Homecoming WebsiteOct. 16, 2013
Follow us on Twitter: @BaylorUMediaCom
Contact: Lori Fogleman, (254) 710-6275
WACO, Texas (Oct. 16, 2013) - Baylor University and KCEN-TV Ch. 6 will broadcast the 104th anniversary Baylor Homecoming Parade, one of the oldest and largest collegiate homecoming parades in the nation, with live coverage from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, from Fifth Street on the Baylor campus. The parade also will be streamed live at www.baylor.edu/homecoming.
Returning to host the parade this year are John Morris and Lori Fogleman.
The Baylor Homecoming Parade will begin at 8 a.m. at Eighth Street and Austin Avenue in downtown Waco. It will travel down Austin and make a right on Fourth Street. Progressing down Fourth, the parade will go under the I-35 overpass, turn right on Dutton Avenue and then left on Fifth Street.
As the parade enters the Baylor campus at approximately 9 a.m., both the television broadcast and live streaming video of the parade will begin.
This year's parade will feature more than 150 entries, including 11 elaborately designed floats, distinguished university, community and athletics dignitaries, marching bands and musical acts, and campus and community organizations.
This year's grand marshals of the Baylor Homecoming Parade are Dr. Robert and Joyce Packard, true Baylor treasures who embody the mission of the University. Dr. Packard taught physics at Baylor for more than 50 years, impacting generations of students in the classroom and winning numerous Baylor and national teaching awards. His "Packard Physics" class was an institution on campus for a half century, and his classroom experiments made physics accessible and entertaining. He and his wife, Joyce, met at Baylor, and their wedding was officiated by Baylor President W.R. White.
Baylor President Ken Starr will be accompanied in this year's parade by five Waco education and government leaders - Waco Mayor Malcolm Duncan Jr., Waco ISD Superintendent Bonny Cain, McLennan Community College Board Chair Randy Cox, Texas State Technical College President Elton Stuckly and Midway ISD Superintendent George Kazanas - to celebrate Baylor's strong partnership with Waco and Central Texas.
Following the parade, fans will head to Floyd Casey Stadium for the football game between the 12th-ranked Baylor Bears and the Iowa State Cyclones. Kickoff is at 6 p.m.
History of the Baylor Homecoming Parade
From the beginning in 1909, the Baylor Homecoming Parade has been a first-class extravaganza of color that featured bands, horse-drawn carriages and wagons, student and civic organizations, and a stream of dignitaries.
On Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 24, 1909, the Baylor Band, as is still the custom today, headed the first Baylor Homecoming Parade and was led by its towering drum major, who, it was reported, was "six feet six in his stocking feet and without his bearskin cap."
As the band moved westward up Washington Avenue and then down to Eighth and Austin, it was followed in the parade - 30 to 40 blocks long - by distinguished guests, speakers, alumni and former students, Baylor clubs, university trustees, Baylor President Samuel Palmer Brooks and faculty, the dean and faculty of the medical school, the R.C.B.'s and Calliopeans women's clubs, Alessandro's Band, the Erisophians and Philomathesians men's clubs, the Baylor Medicos, the football squad, the tennis club, and the basketball team, in that order.
Autos and carriages, 60 in all, followed, and all were decorated - one completely covered with yellow chrysanthemums.
The female literary societies filled "tallyhos" decorated with the colors of their organizations. The men's societies walked in four lines that greatly lengthened as the parade progressed when alumni of the groups joined in the march.
Despite the initial success of the first Baylor Homecoming Parade, the event - indeed, Homecoming itself - did not become an annual tradition until after World War II.
The second Baylor Homecoming Parade took place in 1915, six years after the first, and the third was not until 1924. Afterward, Homecoming was held intermittently until World War II and, after the war, resumed on an annual basis from 1945 to the present.
Torchlight parades, the night before the Homecoming football game, were common in the 1920s. Floats first appeared in the parade in 1915. One float that year depicted a young freshman entering a main hall and emerging as a dignified senior. Floats became standard for the parade during the 1920s and usually carried general themes, often patriotic in nature.
It wasn't until the 1950s that the floats began to take note of Baylor's opponent for the Homecoming football game. By 1960, practically every float carried a slogan that forecast doom for the mascot of the opposing team.
Baylor University is a private Christian university and a nationally ranked research institution, characterized as having "high research activity" by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The university provides a vibrant campus community for approximately 15,000 students by blending interdisciplinary research with an international reputation for educational excellence and a faculty commitment to teaching and scholarship. Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas through the efforts of Baptist pioneers, Baylor is the oldest continually operating university in Texas. Located in Waco, Baylor welcomes students from all 50 states and more than 80 countries to study a broad range of degrees among its 11 nationally recognized academic divisions. Baylor sponsors 19 varsity athletic teams and is a founding member of the Big 12 Conference.

Solar Scientists Use New Instruments and New Perspectives to Discover Physical Mechanism Behind Sympathetic Flares
Dec 13, 2010, 01:00 EST
PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 13, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- A serendipitous alignment of high-powered spaceborne solar instruments–designed and built by Lockheed Martin (NYSE : LMT )–has finally provided the data allowing scientists to uncover the physical mechanism behind so-called "sympathetic flares" on the Sun. For over 75 years, solar physicists have been observing near-synchronous explosions in the solar atmosphere, and have wondered whether they were somehow related, but hard evidence for connection has been elusive.
Then, on August 1st of this year, nearly the entire Earth-facing side of the Sun erupted in a tumult of activity, comprising a large solar flare, a solar tsunami, multiple filaments of magnetism lifting off the solar surface, radio bursts and half a dozen coronal mass ejections (CMEs). At the same time, three NASA spacecraft–the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the twin Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) spacecraft–were ideally positioned to capture both the action on the Earth-facing side of the Sun, and most activity around the backside, leaving a wedge of only 30 degrees of the solar surface unobserved.
"The high-quality simultaneous data we received from SDO and the STEREO spacecraft, and our subsequent analysis, enable us to present unambiguous evidence that solar regions up to 160 degrees away are involved in defining the large-scale coronal field topology for flares and CMEs," said Dr. Carolus Schrijver, of the Solar and Astrophysics Lab at the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center in Palo Alto, and lead author of a paper presented today at the American Geophysical Union Winter Meeting in San Francisco. "Moreover, as far as we are aware, this is the first well-documented case that is highly suggestive that the evolution of that distant field, i.e. the flux emergence in one or more of the three active regions behind the eastern limb of the Sun as seen from Earth and SDO, plays an important role in the destabilization of the magnetic field involved in a series of CMEs aimed for Earth."
The SDO Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) provides a major advance in the ability of physicists to observe the solar corona: full-Sun 4096 x 4096 images with 0.6 arcsec pixels, in temperatures ranging from chromospheric around 10,000 K up to about 10 million K, with images every 12 seconds, without interruption. The instrument design enables the tracing of perturbations over long distances, even if short-lived or occurring at, or changing across, widely different temperatures. At the time of the August 1st observations, the STEREO spacecraft were each approaching quadrature relative to the Sun-Earth line, thus providing perspectives on activity on most of the eastern and western hemispheres relative to Sun-Earth line. Moreover, the SDO Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI), combined with a computational model of full-sphere flux-transport on the Sun, and global coronal field modeling, revealed the long-distance magnetic connections with fair fidelity.
"We've reached a turning point in our ability to forecast space weather," said Dr. Alan Title of the ATC, and co-author of the paper presented today. "We now have evidence that multiple events can be triggered by other events that occur in regions that cannot be observed from Earth orbit. This gives us a new appreciation of why solar flare and CME predictions have been less than perfect. As we seek to understand the causes of eruptive and explosive events that will improve our ability to forecast space weather, it is clear that we must be able to analyze most of the evolving global solar field, if not all of it."
The events that took place on the Sun on August 1st propagated outward into the solar system and eventually reached Earth on August 5th and 6th. The Rutherford-Appleton Laboratories in the UK designed and built the Heliospheric Imagers on STEREO that can image and follow the material ejected by the Sun all the way to the Earth. The coronagraphs on STEREO were designed and built by the Naval Research Laboratory, and the EUV Imagers were built by Lockheed Martin. Working together, an international team is now putting into place the many pieces of this very interesting puzzle.
It was not chance, however, that brought together the spacecraft and instruments that teased understanding from the tumultuous events of early August 2010, but rather a decades-long NASA science plan to place instruments throughout the heliosphere called the Heliospheric System Observatory, with the goal of understanding and predicting space weather. While the Sun makes life possible on the Earth, our technological society is increasingly vulnerable to infrequent but high-impact phenomena that can result from space storms.
Large-scale electrical systems and space-based technology are susceptible to solar-driven space weather events that couple into the Earth's geomagnetic field and from there down to ground systems. Satellite failures and power-grid problems occur with some regularity whenever large solar storms occur, and observations of stars like our Sun suggest that some such storms may be much larger than those experienced in recent history. Thus, there is a growing need to better understand the climate of space, both in terms of its day-to-day fluctuations and its most extreme conditions. Advancing knowledge of our space environment and its potential impacts is essential to national and international economic, as well as military, security.
The Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory at the ATC conducts basic research into understanding and predicting space weather and the behavior of our Sun including its impacts on Earth and climate. It has a 47-year-long heritage of spaceborne solar instruments. The ATC is the research and development organization of Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company (LMSSC). LMSSC, a major operating unit of Lockheed Martin Corporation, designs and develops, tests, manufactures and operates a full spectrum of advanced-technology systems for national security and military, civil government and commercial customers. Chief products include human space flight systems; a full range of remote sensing, navigation, meteorological and communications satellites and instruments; space observatories and interplanetary spacecraft; laser radar; ballistic missiles; missile defense systems; and nanotechnology research and development.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 133,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation's 2009 sales from continuing operations were $44.0 billion.

Kelly Poe, a fellow Windows 7 fan, launched the "Release Windows 7 Now" campaign because he's a "BIG Windows fan and have been loving what Microsoft has done with the recent Beta Release of Windows 7," and he's just "jones'n" for the release of "beautiful little birdy (with the odd name)."
Aside from his odd way of putting things across (I thought Windows 7's name was pretty straightforward, and I never thought of any system as a sort of bird before, but to each his own), I found his itch and ache for an early release of Windows to be a bit to overzealous as well as not very well thought out. There's a reason Microsoft released the beta, and that's to let users play with it for a while and report any bugs, major or minor, they may find so as to iron out any major wrinkles before the release of the complete system later on. As a side note, Windows 7 is currently estimated at a November 2009 release, though this naturally isn't solid just yet especially since Microsoft still insists that Vista will have a three-year general availability period, making us believe 7 will be released sometime during or after January of 2010.
Back to the main subject: it seems a bit of a mistake to ask for Microsoft to release Windows 7 early. Who wants a system buggier than it has to be? Certainly the current beta is in good shape, but more often than not an early release for the user causes bad feeling toward the product and overall avoidance and negative talk spread about it forever afterward, as seen with Vista and not to mention the release of KDE 4.0,according to many commenters here on OSNews.
Apparently some people already addressed this to the campaign launcher. He wrote in an updated post on the website:
It seems he was reprimanded badly as this contradicts nearly everything the campaign was started for:
Sounds to me as if he wanted 7 released now regardless of its uncompleted beta state. It may be fun to have it now, but really what's the problem with using the beta? You currently get to use it for free, and if it's true that Windows 7 will be released come November, you'll only have to wait several months after the beta expires to be able to go out and purchase it. Patience is a virtue, and good things come to those who wait. As my Mor Mor (Danish for "mother's mother") always used to say:
If you really are itching for Windows 7 and you really truly love Windows, what you want most will be for Microsoft to have enough time with the beta to iron out enough of the problems for a happier experience. I myself, a long time Windows advocate, am fine using the beta, and most likely won't purchase 7 until around the time SP1 is released. However, all personal thoughts and feelings on this subject aside, if you feel the need for Windows 7 to be released sooner, go right ahead and vote. Microsoft just might do it.

Very secure and safe. On Campus security very visible. I have never had a problem nor none of any problems.
Greek Life
I was honored to be inducted this December into Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society!
Clubs and Activities
Sports for Men and Women, baseball, softball, basketball, volleyball, golf, bowling. Chess clubs, hiking clubs, math clubs....
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
I must say that all of the Staff support all of their students events and activities! Whether it be sporting events or silent auctions, you will find the majority of people there actually work for Columbia-Greene and are there off hours to support their beloved school!
Bang for the buck
I am so glad I choose to attend Columbia-Greene CC instead of going away to College. I saved perhaps over $15,000 per year by living home and commuting to school. All of my Credits transferred not only to SUNY Colleges but also Private Colleges I had applied to. So Columbia-Greene CC has allowed me to save money these last two years, while getting my Associates Degree!
What to do for fun
Pick up games, work out, socialize, ping pong games, attend events and activities.
Food and Dining
Great food always something new on menu and priced right!
Dorm Life
My College doesn't have dorms
Academic Rigor
The academic rigor is high, but very manageable with extra help from all the staff.
Tips for prospective students
Don't be shy in asking for help, they are all there to help and more than willing to go above and beyond! Get involved in the many schools activities, sports, clubs, events! Take advantage of all the great services they provide!
In three sentences
I rate Columbia-Greene CC a 10 out of 0-10 (10 being best)! It is a small school and all the teachers know their students by name and really take the time to know you. Have had the great opportunities of working there and also playing on their basketball and baseball teams-great support by staff!

It such a small college and everyone knows one another. The campus is small and opened up, that you never feel in danger even at night.
Greek Life
There is none
Great for these types of students
Great for those that are more comfortable in a small classroom, or those that are not sure of what degree they want to focus on just yet.
Bang for the buck
School provides many student lounges which are great to escape to and meet up with friends at. They also have the hall ways of the school covered with the art work of fellow students, which just makes it seem a little more personal of in institution of education.
What to do for fun
The school is always holding job fairs or fund raisers. There is also the school's sports games to attend.
Food and Dining
Same food you eat in high school just cost more.
Dorm Life
College doesn't have a dorm.
Academic Rigor
The professors are always available for extra help, they'll explain the work in a way that is easy to understand.
Tips for prospective students
Make an appointment for everything as soon it is available and keep on top of you paper work and deadlines.
In three sentences
During my first semester I had difficulty with the financial aid department . Now starting my second semester Im finding difficulty with getting a hold of my consular. Other then the few problems with lack of communication, Ive had a pressure attending the college and getting to know the professors.

My dad is one of the security guards therefor i feel safest when he is there. Although I do feel less safe with most of the other guards. It is pretty much safe though.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
I have not found any yet. I do know for Halloween they have a contest and the teacher voted for the most has to wear a costume (no matter what the costume is).
Bang for the buck
I think some things could be cheaper! I also disagree with paying for certain courses when they are not credited, they should at least be cheaper than a regular credited class!
What to do for fun
There are many groups to join like art club and others. At lunch or other breaks you can go to the library, get on your laptops, go shoot hoops in the gym, and other stuff.
Food and Dining
There could be more options for the food, but other than that I love it. The guy that runs the food and dining is nice and hes a great cook too!
Dorm Life
Has no dorms, but if they did they probably would be good. I hear they are thinking of getting dorms.
Academic Rigor
Most teachers will help by all means! Even if you are not their student. Other though are horrible and don't grade right!
Tips for prospective students
My tips would to get everything done admissions wise and for every other thing like financial aid. The sooner your get things finished the better off you will be!
In three sentences
I love this place! The teachers are willing to help by all means and you can become a student aid as well to work! Has no housing though!

This college is perfect for anyone! Get all your required transfer credits out of the way without paying insane tuition bills.
Tips for prospective students
This is such a great college, there aren't as many students as most...the classes are small and personal...and everyone is friendly. If you go here, you save money, and time, and you will get a fantastic education. If you do your work, you can go really far here.
Bang for the buck
SO CHEAP! It's a great education, for about 1/5 of the price of a private college.
Am enjoying being here
I love the classes!! The kids are great, and the professors are all really awesome!! They are all interesting and fun and they keep you interested everyday.
Am learning a lot
The teachers work with you, if you need help, they give it to you. The classes are small and easy, and the work isn't as difficult as most would think.

Tips for prospective students
Transcripts will cost you $5.00 each when you order them, and do it well in advance! It takes a while. You also can't order them online, you have to fax in a request. Definitely a pain! Be sure to really ask around before taking classes from certain teachers in the Business department. I cannot emphasize this enough!
Bang for the buck
This college is nearly twice as expensive as the current community college I am attending, where I receive much more personal attention, have better teachers, and significantly more resources. However, to be fair to Columbia Greene, they are a much smaller school in a small area. I feel that they provide a valuable service, but that they could do better.
Did enjoy being here
Columbia Greene is a very small school. There are few social activities available (but there is a nice little gym). The food is pretty terrible. Students would likely be better served, if they can manage it, by going to Hudson Valley Community College.
Did learn a lot
At Columbia Greene, I had one great teacher, who was only teaching for that semester to cover for another teacher who was away. I had one good teacher, and two terrible teachers. One of my terrible teachers was the head of his department, so there was no one to complain to about his bizarre behaviors and complete lack of teaching skills and helpfulness.

Students who aren't sure what career path they're interested in yet, students who want to save a significant amount of money for the first two years of college.
Tips for prospective students
Definitely consider online classes to free up your schedule. They are relatively easy and flexible. If you're worried about taking a class entirely online, hybrid classes are also a great option to consider.
Bang for the buck
Columbia-Greene is part of the SUNY system, so the credits are widely transferable to all state schools and many other public and private institutions, both in- and out-of-state. It is so worth it to start out here because the classes are very inexpensive, while meeting SUNY guidelines.
Am enjoying being here
The students and teachers are helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere is very relaxed and informal for the most part. Readily available professors and other staff members.
Am learning a lot
The classes available are all the perfect amount of time - not too much learning crammed in all at once, but long enough to receive a fulfilling lesson in whichever subject you're taking. I've taken one, two, and three day a week classes, and I don't have a preference because they're all equally as rewarding and generally easy to keep up with.

Cal St.-East Bay gains DII status
Pioneers will be full member of Division II beginning Sept. 1
HAYWARD, Calif. -- Director of Athletics Debby De Angelis announced today that Cal State East Bay has been accepted as a full active member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II, effective Sept. 1, 2011. The news came during a conference call with the NCAA membership staff on Friday morning, following a three-year application process.
"I am delighted to hear that we have been notified of our attainment of full membership status as a member of NCAA Division II," Cal State East Bay Interim President Dr. Leroy Morishita said. "Importantly, this notification provides the necessary credentials for Cal State East Bay to participate as a full member within the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) and as such, provides the opportunity for our student-athletes to now participate in postseason championship play."
|Cal Poly Pomona
|Cal State-Dominguez Hills
|Cal State-East Bay
|Cal State-Los Angeles
|Cal State-Monterey Bay
|Cal State-San Bernardino
|Cal State-Stanislaus
|Chico State
|Humboldt State
|San Francisco State
|Sonoma State
|UC San Diego
Cal State East Bay began the Division II membership process during the 2008-09 season and has competed as a provisional member of the CCAA for the past two seasons. Active member status will allow the Pioneer teams to compete for conference and NCAA championships after being ineligible for postseason play for the past two seasons. CSUEB will have a chance to face some of the best teams in Division II on a regular basis in the CCAA, which has claimed at least one NCAA team title each of the last four years, including a pair this spring in softball and men's golf.
"This is a move that was started by the students and will benefit every current and future Pioneer student-athlete," De Angelis said. "We are very excited to return to Division II and have a conference the caliber of the CCAA with our sister state universities for our student-athletes to compete."
The move to Division II began with a request to then-President Mohammad Qayoumi from Cal State East Bay's Associated Students, Inc. board to explore the concept in 2007. Following an examination by administrators, students and staff, as well as an outside consultant and former NCAA president, Cal State East Bay announced its plans to apply for membership in NCAA Division II and the CCAA in May 2008. The decision was also influenced by the students' approval of an activities fee increase to help fund the move to Division II.
The application and exploratory membership period required a number of conditions be met for the Pioneers to gain active member status. These conditions included sponsoring a minimum number of teams, full compliance with NCAA Division II rules and an increase in financial aid funding. Over the last three years, the athletic department has increased in size from three to 10 full-time staff and moved from a non-scholarship program to one which exceeds the minimum of $250,000 in athletic financial aid, all while coming into compliance with Division II rules for scheduling, recruiting, scholarships and eligibility under the guidance of Senior Associate Athletic Director Sara Judd.
The process also included annual reports documenting every aspect of the athletic department, campus visits from NCAA membership committee members and working to follow the resulting recommendations of the committee.
"I would like to particularly thank Sara Judd and her staff for the extraordinary work they did to educate our staff and bring us into full Division II compliance and completing the volumes of supporting documentation required by the NCAA," De Angelis said.
The Pioneers will join the 281 other active member institutions of Division II, which prides itself on six main attributes – learning, service, passion, sportsmanship, resourcefulness and balance. In line with those attributes, Division II programs are focused on two key initiatives: gameday environment and community engagement which work to create a positive game experience for student-athletes, fans, coaches and staff and to bring the public onto campus to experience college athletics and allow student-athletes to have a positive impact on their community.
Pioneer student-athletes will also have the opportunity to work with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the chosen charity of the Division II Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). Over the past seven years of partnership, Division II SAAC has raised over $1 million for Make-A-Wish. Cal State East Bay's SAAC has already forged a relationship with Make-A-Wish, raising more than $2000 for the organization in each of the last two seasons.
In addition to gaining the ability to offer athletic scholarships and compete against some of the best programs in Division II, Cal State East Bay's active membership in Division II will allow it to enroll in the National Letter of Intent program, which works to protect student-athletes and recruits, and give student-athletes the opportunity to apply for postgraduate scholarships and to participate in enrichment and career development programs through the NCAA. Full active status also gives CSUEB the ability to vote at the annual NCAA Convention and access to enhancement funds for improvements within the athletic department.
Cal State East Bay had previously been a dual member of NCAA Division III and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) for 11 years, with 10 sports competing in the NCAA as independents and five in the NAIA's California Pacific Conference. The Pioneers were originally a member of NCAA Division II from 1961-98, claiming two NCAA national championships during that span.

When purchasing a sewing machine, be sure to consider what types of materials you want to sew, how often you'll use the machine, your skill level, and the amount of room you have to store the machine. Your answers will help determine what size and style is best for you.
Sewing machines can be categorized into three basic styles:
An electric machine also uses a foot pedal, but the controls are typically touch screen, computerized settings. Because there is more control with an electric machine, the stitches are often more precise. These machines usually offer 15 to 25 stitch styles and are used by those with intermediate skill levels.
The computerized sewing machine is the most technologically savvy. Its multiple small step motors are all run by a computer processor. These machines generally offer 150 to 250 stitch styles, including embroidery and alphabet stitches for personalizing. They can also be connected to your computer so you can download custom stitches. Advanced sewers are the main users of these machines.
Most machines will have the following features:

There are many ways to do immersion dyeing of wool fiber to get a semi solid color. I thought I would share my way of doing it.
This method originated from a way that Carol Lee at The Sheep Shed Studio does her dyeing. I saw it on the Yahoo Group, Dye Happy some time ago.
You will need a large dye pot and some roving as well as acid dye stock and vinegar or citric acid. The roving needs to fit in the dye pot with some space to move around in the water for more even color.
Pre-soak the roving in water and a little bit of Dawn dish soap. In the meantime, put the dye pot over your heat source and bring it to a full rolling boil. You want it rolling not just bubbling.
When the water boils, add the acid dye stock to your pot. My dye stocks are mixed to a one percent solution. For eight ounces of fiber and a nice medium shade, I like to use one half cup of stock. For the fiber shown in the photo I was aiming for a lighter color so I used one-eighth cup or two tablespoons of stock. This fiber weighed about 7.25 ounces.
Is the heat off? If so, you can squeeze out the fiber and add it to the pot of very hot water and dye stock. Push it down into the stock and let it sit there for five minutes or so. The dye won't strike yet because there is no acid in the dye bath,. Waiting helps make sure all the fiber is in contact with the dye.
Next add the acid. For this pot I added about one half cup of vinegar. Push the fiber down gently to mix the vinegar with the dye liquor.
Put the lid on the pot and let it cool. The pot will stay hot enough for the dye to strike for over an hour. I let my pot cool completely before I rinse and dry my fiber.
The thing I like about this method is that it gives me a fairly even strike and there is no chance of felting the fiber assuming that the heat was turned off before the fiber went in the pot and that there was no vigorous stirring.
Give this a try next time you want a semi solid fiber.

A 56-year-old leader in the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation in northeast Kansas has died in a motorcycle crash involving a deer.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says James M. Potter of Delia died in the crash Wednesday evening west of Mayetta after his motorcycle hit a deer, left the roadway and landed in a ditch. The patrol says someone driving by early Thursday saw Potter and the motorcycle and notified authorities.
Suzanne Heck, editor for the tribe's newspaper and website, said Thursday that Potter was tribal council secretary.
An obituary posted on the tribe's website says Potter served on the tribal council for 16 years and had also been on the executive board of National Congress of American Indians.
Services are scheduled for Monday, with burial Tuesday at the Danceground Cemetery.

Coroner determines cause of death at reservoir
Coroner determines cause of death at reservoir
The Anderson County deputy coroner says what appeared to be a drowning death in Pelzer was actually a death caused by a heart attack.
It happened just after 3 p.m. Friday in the Big Creek Water Shed 1 Reservoir in Pelzer.
The coroner's office said 61-year-old Terry Keith Fricks, of Pelzer, was fishing when he told his friend he felt ill. He then fell overboard.
EMS tried to resuscitate Fricks, who was taken by ambulance to Greenville Memorial just before 4 p.m. Fricks was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Anderson County Deputy Coroner Don McCown said an autopsy Monday determined Fricks had suffered a heart attack.

Global awareness comprises one of the cornerstones of the mission of Cal Maritime. The Academy provides many formal and informal occassions each semester for faculty to engage issues of global significance. The Training Ship Golden Bear also offers many faculty the opportunity to visit different countries across the Pacific Rim.
At present, global opportunities for Cal Maritime faculty emanate from two different sources: participation in the CSU International Program, affiliated with over fifty different universities in eighteen countries; and partnerships with other maritime universities through agreements establishing exchange programs. More information on these different tracks to study abroad can be found in the following links:

A copy of the STEPs model for PE can be downloaded for your information.
The Academy's Key Stage 3 curriculum has been developed following extensive consultation and development work with curriculum experts from examination boards and subject leaders from a wide range of schools and Academies from across the country. It is based on the new National Curriculum but also contains content that is localised to suit the needs, aspirations and interests of our children.
These pages contain information about the topics that your child will be studying in each of the subject areas on their timetable, how their progress and attainment will be assessed and how the assessment will be reported upon to you.
The subject overviews are broken down into half termly overviews in order that you can easily gain an overview of what your child is learning in school at any given time.
The assessment overviews are designed to show you exactly what your child has achieved and enables you to compare this against the age related expectations for an 'average' child in that subject.
When you receive your child's report you will see that they have been assessed as being on a 'step' for each subject. By hovering over that 'step' in the assessment overview spreadsheet (links on the right hand side of this webpage), a box will open up showing you exactly what your child has 'done' to achieve this step.
The 'mastery' line is denoted in blue and a child who is assessed as working at this level in a subject has demonstrated in their recent assessment that they have a sound understanding of the knowledge and skills that they have been learning and can apply these in a variety of different ways. A child who has achieved 'mastery' is making good progress and is achieving well.
'Steps toward mastery'
It would be wrong and unreasonable to expect every child to instantly master knowledge, skills or new concepts in every subject. Consequently, they may not yet be working at a level at which they have secure understanding. The steps below the mastery line are designed to show you what your child has learned and what they must do next in order to move closer to mastery.
Children who are assessed as 'working towards mastery' will be provided with a bespoke action / intervention plan in order to accelerate their learning and 'catch up'. By hovering over that 'step' in the assessment overview spreadsheet (links on the right hand side of this webpage), a box will open up showing you exactly what your child has 'done' to achieve this step – you can also hover over the subsequent 'steps' leading to the mastery line to show you what additional learning your child needs to undertake in order to achieve the mastery level. It is this that will be the focus of the action / intervention plan.
'Steps towards excellence'
In subject areas or in discreet topics where children are very confident or possess a particular aptitude, they may find that they achieve the 'mastery' level quickly. It is therefore important that we provide both stretch and challenge in order that these children can meet their fullest potential. For this reason there are steps above the mastery line which are designed to enable students to learn more about a subject, apply their knowledge or skills in more complex ways or to extend their learning into other areas. By hovering above these boxes you can see what your child has achieved and how this relates to the original work that they undertook.
'Progress and Attainment Expectations'
It is the Academy's expectation that any child who consistently performs at 'mastery' level should achieve at least a Grade 5 in the new GCSE qualifications should they continue on that trajectory throughout Key Stage 4. This grade is roughly equivalent to the 'top end' of a current C grade. Children working consistently above the 'mastery line' will be expected to achieve grades 6-8, which are roughly equivalent to the current Grades A*-B. A number of the most able children may ultimately achieve the new GCSE grade 9, which is restricted to the top 2-3% of entries nationally.

If last year's debut of the Triumph Tiger Explorer left you wanting a more off-road capable machine, then the British brand hopes that its now unveiled Triumph Tiger Explorer XC will suit your tastes. Featuring the same 135 hp / 89 lbs•ft 1215cc three cylinder motor as the Tiger Explorer, the Tiger Explorer XC primarily differentiates itself with its tubeless steel spoked wheels (19″ front, 17″ rear), and off-road accessories (hand guards, fog lights, engine crash bars, and an aluminum belly pan).
Like its on-road counterpart, the 2013 Triumph Tiger Explorer XC also features a ride-by-wire throttle, traction control, cruise control, switchable anti-locking brakes (ABS) , and shaft-driven final drive. Expected to be in dealers by April 2013, Triumph has also tacked on a two-year unlimited mileage warranty, while service intervals are said to be every 10,000 miles. You can get the Triumph Explorer XC in any color you want, as long as it's Khaki Green.

Pirelli, the official tyre supplier to Formula One for the next three years, will get the 2011 season underway in the United Arab Emirates with an unprecedented test. Never before in single-seater history has a test been organised at night and on an artificially wet track to recreate the conditions experienced in a typical rainy grand prix.
The Abu Dhabi test will take place a few weeks before the Valencia test, the first official group session of the 2011 season. The Yas Marina Circuit is one of the most fascinating venues on the Formula One calendar, a perfect setting for this extraordinary event that will call a halt to the development phase for Pirelli's Formula One tyres. For the first time in the history of Formula One, the 5.55-kilometre Yas Marina track will be coated in water to create a unique 12-hour night test.
Abu Dhabi testing wets and intermediates
This is the last round of private tests for Pirelli, with the wet and intermediate tyres solely in use. Today's session will start at 1800hrs and continue until midnight, with same schedule for tomorrow. Within the range of 2011 compounds, these rain tyres have been specifically designed for wet or damp conditions. In line with current FIA regulations, Pirelli dry tyres comprise four different compounds that have already been successfully tested.
Test driver Pedro de la Rosa will be at the wheel of a Toyota TF109, chosen by Pirelli to try out the entire new range of Formula One tyres. The TF109 was the last car to be developed by the Japanese manufacturer before it withdrew from the championship at the end of 2009, winning five podiums over its last season of competition. The test car will cover more than 1,000 km in extreme driving conditions with the rubber having to deal with severe stresses on a tricky wet and hot tarmac.
Paul Hembery, Pirelli Formula One Team Director said: "This is a unique opportunity to witness a Formula One test car on track at night in the wet and on hot tarmac, in an entirely floodlit setting. We decided to do it this way because we want to challenge our rain tyres with the most difficult and demanding of all situations. And who knows, perhaps it could be a good idea for a future grand prix? These tests will provide us with useful information to finalise our tyre development process for Formula One. It is seven months since we started developing our tyres and five since we started with the actual testing. We are very satisfied with the results so far and we have also collected very positive feedback from the teams. Soon it will be time to get started in Spain where the first official test of the season will take place. We will use this opportunity to gather more feedback from teams and drivers and be ready for the Bahrain Grand Prix in March."
The two-day Abu Dhabi test is the last in a series of nine private tests that the Italian firm has carried out from August 19, when Pirelli's test programme got underway. Since then, Nick Heidfeld, Roman Grosjean and Pedro de la Rosa, all at the wheel of a Toyota TF109, have covered more than 13,000 km in a variety of weather conditions at some important European and Middle East circuits. Pirelli has used Mugello, Monza, Barcelona, Valencia, Jerez, Le Castellet and Bahrain to test its entire range of tyres developed for the 2011 season. Supersoft and soft compound tyres were the last to be finalised and were successfully tested in Abu Dhabi last weekend, with Pedro de la Rosa driving for around 200 laps, the equivalent of some 1,000 km.
Coming up next is the official test in Valencia from February 1-4. The 12 Formula One teams will then move to Jerez, from February 10-13, and end the testing in Barcelona, from February 18-21. The 2011 Formula One season will begin at the Bahrain Gran Prix on March 13.

VintageModern Design Challenge - Flour Garden Apron
Added Mar 5, 2012
by rosey
Moorefield, West...
VintageModern Design Challenge
I've so much enjoyed creating this apron for the VintageModern Design Challenge. When I saw Amy Barickman's book, Vintage Notions, I knew I would love looking through it and choosing just the right pattern. Making a pattern using only the measurements given in a Magic Pattern and altering it here and there, was so much fun and has given me a much needed respite from an unusually stressful year.
My "Flour Garden Apron" for the VintageModern Design Challenge, is designed from a Magic Pattern in Amy Barickman's book, Vintage Notions. I constructed and cut the pattern using the "Comfortable/Economic Apron" (1926) pattern (pp. 172-173). Then I altered it to suit my more modern preferences.
Though the body of the apron is cut according to the book's pattern measurements, I cut 2 apron bodies instead of one for my unique design purposes. Rather than a single neck strap, I made two separate longer ties and waist sashes in order to make the apron more adjustable and versatile toward fitting a larger range of sizes and wearing preferences for today's modern woman. The apron can be worn long to cover dresses or raised with the sashes for wear with jeans or shorts.
The apron panels, straps and pocket are all constructed of coordinating 100% cotton print quilt fabrics, maintaining a vintage feel. For the Apron's theme, I used, "Cupcakery Sponged Stripe Brown/Beige (Body), Cupcakery Sponged Dots Brown (Pocket & Straps) and Sakura Floral Black (Applique Border) tossing in a flower garden for a bit of whimsy.
Though my construction of this apron gives the appearance around its edges, of it having been lined, the "lining" fabric is actually the main body of the apron. The coordinating fabric edging the apron was reverse appliqud (by reversing the fabrics) with free motion stitching, following the design in the fabric, rather than using a conventional border appliqu design. Cutting away the bulk of the repositioned fore fabric, the edges were then trimmed and left raw to become soft frayed edges both for a dimensional look and to maintain the natural comfort of the apron when worn.
Because of the added bulk of the extra layer of fabric at the sides, instead of the directed gathering in the book's instructions, I opted for using pleats instead, accenting them with coordinating vintage pink satin ribbon to include the pleats as part of the design rather than being merely functional.
The pocket was made square and treated in the same manner as the body of the apron, placed right of front, one corner turned down for interest.
Two matching vintage mother of pearl buttons were used at either side accenting the satin ribbon and 3 different matching vintage buttons used to accent the pocket and front of the straps at the bodice.
Material Notes
The apron panels, straps and pocket are all constructed of coordinating 100% cotton print quilt fabrics: "Cupcakery Sponged Stripe Brown/Beige (Body), Cupcakery Sponged Dots Brown (Pocket & Straps) and Sakura Floral Black (Applique Border)
Satin Ribbon to accent the side pleats stitched with rayon embroidery thread.
Vintage Buttons for accent.

Thank you so much! Don't need to cook. Aprons are the in thing now, just to wear around the house to do your housework in. It's a lovely idea to feel a little special for such tedious tasks. Put on a pretty apron, plug in some music and dance with your broom! ;) When I have the time, I'll post my technique for the "applique". Thanks again for such a nice compliment! :) Rosey

Everton's 'superstar' Barkley not for sale - Martinez
Ross Barkley will not be sold by Everton this summer regardless of his impact at the World Cup, according to manager Roberto Martinez.
Barkley's call-up for England's World Cup squad capped an impressive breakthrough season for the 20-year old, who scored seven goals in 38 appearances as Everton finished fifth in Martinez's first season at Goodison Park.
Martinez rates the dynamic midfielder as a "phenomenal talent" and "a superstar in our eyes already" but believes he is yet to realise his full potential.
"Ross is probably the best English talent I have ever seen, but he is not the finished article yet and you need to be very careful," Martinez told The Guardian. "It's our duty to protect him and I know Everton is the perfect place for him for the next 12 months.
"In football obviously you can never speak about the future. Obviously we need to come along and try to get into the top-four positions to offer players like Ross the next stage of their development. Ross is delighted at Everton and feels very much that he is in the right place at the right time of his career."
Martinez expects Barkley to excel for Roy Hodgson's side in Brazil, with his big-game mentality and adaptability to a range of positions offering the England manager greater options in midfield.
"If you analyse Ross's season it's been against the top teams when he's excelled," he said. "Nothing is going to faze him. I do think there are certain types of games that will suit him better than others but he is ready to fulfil whatever role the England manager wants to give him.
"Ross could be in a position to impress millions of people at the World Cup but he will never look at it in that way. He will look at it in a humdrum manner, trying to be as good as he can and trying to help England as well as he can.
"He will come back the same person, I can guarantee you that. He's not someone who will lose sight of reality when he comes back."

This basement / foundation waterproofing system is installed outside and requires excavation of the ground along the wall that will be treated with the basement / foundation waterproofing application. The basement / foundation waterproofing application will both seal the crack (preventing water from entering the sealed crack) and prevent water from entering new cracks that may form in the concrete wall after the system is installed. The lateral drain will resolve the issue of hydrostatic pressure that builds up next to the wall by draining the water down to the same depth as the footing (the base that the basement wall rests upon) into the weeping tile system.
This basement / foundation waterproofing system is recommended for homes and other types of buildings that are unable to have interior drainage systems installed due to reasons such as the "basement is finished", "there are large immovable objects that are in the way and taking up too much room", and because "the construction could prevent important tasks from being accomplished".
